Using the web client in the new security environment

Beginning with IBM Spectrum® Protect Version 8.1.2, you can no longer use the web client GUI to connect to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.2 or later V8 server or the V7.1.8 or later V7 server.

If you are connected to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.2 or later V8 server or the V7.1.8 or later V7 server, use the following alternatives to the web client GUI:
Tip: If you already upgraded the backup-archive client to V8.1.2 or later, you can uninstall it and reinstall the V8.1.0 client to continue to use the web client. The IBM Spectrum Protect server administrator needs to set the SESSIONSECURITY parameter on the node back to TRANSITIONAL. For more information, see UPDATE NODE (Update node attributes).
